went right over my head... didn't even catch the spackle/spatter thing. Too many paint fumes lately, I guess.

Pretty simple piece to make. 16ga flat steel, bead-rolled the edges and a little shrinking in the corners to get it to sit flat where it curves upward in front. Welded on a couple hinges, and made a finger-pull in the corner that is welded on also.

We'll use a couple magnets to keep it closed and avoid rattling. No latch.

Here's a picture of it just set in place. It will sit a little more level once we add a weatherstrip and the magnets.
